- Hi, and help, please. I recently purchased a Packard Bell 486SX
- (Legend 710), 25MHz. I'm not sure, but I think I'm having a small
- (or rather ... LARGE) problem with my HDD. I'm new to the DOS
- world (being a hard-core Apple ][er), and have no idea what's
- going on with this machine, but... I'm running Windows 3.1 and
- DOS 5.0, and bouncing back and forth between the two, and having
- a few system crashes. It seems that my 130Meg HDD is filling
- up in and of itself, with no help from me. Is this a known
- problem? Am I doing something tragically wrong? Is there some
- way I can detect files that are deletable or something? I've
- downloaded a few things lately, but I've deleted everything that
- I've downloaded, and I've gone from 40 megs free to 1 meg free
- without adding anything to the HDD that I haven't deleted since.
- What's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks!
-
- Jim
